A House on the Shore

 

 

Let me live in a house on an ocean shore

Where the surf and sad do meet

Let me sit, my dear Lord, at the water's edge

Where the waves gently wash my feet.

 

Let me feel the sun's warmth, as it shines o my face,

Watch the sea gulls flying on high

Let me see the sun set, far out in the west,

Where the water seems to meet the sky.

 

But if, my dear Lord, plans that You have for me

Are not plans that I'm dreaming of,

Then Thy will be done, I'll be happy to know

I'm forever more bathed in Your love.
